Sonic Youth, Merzbow, Blank Dogs Play No Fun

No Fun Fest, the annual gathering of all things noisy and, er, really fucking noisy, has announced the lineup for its 2009 incarnation, going down May 15-17 at Brooklyn's Music Hall of Williamsburg. It is, as it ever was, an impressive bunch, and the perfect way to gauge just how much fun you won't be having should you attend.

Sonic Youth will perform as a band, as opposed to just various members' solo and side projects, in addition to sets from Merzbow,  Bardo Pond, Thrones, Blank Dogs, Axolotl, Bastard Noise, Conrad Schnitzler's Con-Cert, Chris Corsano, Carlos Giffoni, Skullflower, Marcus Schmickler and Peter Rehberg (aka Pita), Rafael Toral with C. Spencer Yeh and Trevor Tremaine, and many others.

The exact order of acts will be announced next month. Coordinating schedules: probably the least fun of all.
